Yes, which isn't really a porter problem. The result is that it will be rather difficult for a while to *measure* how well ports are keeping up, so there's probably just no sense in trying to until things cool down in unstable. > I followed the 'unstable' distribution since the beginning of 2004 > with private buildds on different architectures and I recreated the > complete 'unstable' distribution many times from scratch by rebuilding > every package.

The amd64 port would be held to this standard just like all of the others. I don't think this should actually pose a problem for a port with a committed porter team; Debian has a proud history of sourceful porter NMUs, after all. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. vorlon@debian.org http://www.debian.org/
